&#34;Prosy&#34; an innovation for outdoor advertisement

ABSTRACT

The Prosy, a fully scaleable and customize video player projection system with an extension of using a computer via local area network and broadband wireless is installed on a wooden utility pole ( 7 ) set at forty feet from an existing billboard to project full motion video commercials continuously at night The video player ( 27 ), the use of a computer via local area network and broadband wireless as an extension of the projection system and the projector ( 1 ) are the primary components of the systems, these components operate by a time selector to activate and deactivate at certain hours To energize the system, a twenty-amp breaker that is located at the existing billboard is considered for power source The components have an incapability of operating outdoors therefore, a humidity and temperature system is installed to protect it from heat, humidity, and cold weather. A nitrogen bottle ( 1 A) is the main supply of air circulation to prevent any moisture inside each enclosure ( 3 ) To keep each enclosure ( 3 ) cool, electric fans ( 15 ) are installed. To better service and record the temperature readings, a temperature controller ( 32 ) is installed inside each aluminum junction box ( 31 ) to protect it from rain or any flying debris With the provisional application that was filed the system was able to be enhance to give better service.

[0004] 2. Background—Description of Prior Art

[0005] It's amazing how technology is changing the way companies advertise their business today Any company that doesn't change with the times is certain to fall behind For instance, billboards have been used in advertising for many years and have not changed. Billboards have always had a difficult time getting people's attention The ad has to be pretty exciting to get notice

[0006] The hardest part in advertising is to catch the attention of your potential customers But Futuristic Imaging Systems is changing all that They have committed themselves to revolutionize the advertisement industry not only to project television commercials but also to serve the community with alerting news

[0007] Imagine the public spotting your message in a moving video Your ad would stand out from all the other billboards The message will be much more effective This is what we meant about technology changing the way companies advertise

SUMMARY

[0009] It is time for a change, existing billboard advertisements have had their days Futuristic Imaging Systems believes that the billboards should not only serve for advertising but also for the following reasons by using the Prosy I. Emergency Evacuations II. Chemical Plants Explosions III. Traffic Delays IV. Elections V. Missing Persons Alerts VI. Weather Warnings VII. Advertising

ADVANTAGES

[0010] Before the research of the Prosy was conducted the inventors believed that if the system was going to be invented that it should serve not only for advertisement but, for other media purposes The following Roman Numerals briefly state the advantages for the purpose of the Prosy I. The Prosy would be able to alert the commuters of traffic delays II. Promote official elections (mayor, Presidents, council man, etc) III. Warn residents of weather conditions IV. Report missing persons V. Report any emergency evacuations VI. And better quality of advertisement for customers and consumers

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0074] Futuristic Imaging Systems invented Prosy to project full motion commercial videos on existing billboards Three commercials of fifteen seconds each will be aired continously Due to daylight, projection will not be visible, therefor, it would only be able to function at night A variety of white canvases will be installed on the existing billboards to accommodate the contrast of the video during air time

[0075] Two major component, a DVD player, along with an extension of using a computer through a local area network and broadband wireless center will be installed to integrate with the projector. A time selector will be used to activate and deactivate the major components at certain hours. These components will be installed on a wooden utility pole setting at forty feet away from the screen Since the major components are not outside devices, a humidity and temperature system needs to be installed to protect them from heat, humidity, and cold weather.

[0076] The following roman numerals listed below will instruct any person that specialize in this scientific field step by step (billboards and land are not part of the prosy)

[0077] Existing power source from the existing billboard will be used for power source for the Prosy (projection system)

Structural

[0078] I A wooden utility pole 50′×7′½″ top dia and 14″ bottom dia should be installed approximately at forty feet from the existing billboard. The wooden pole should be buried no less than 8′ feet into the ground for stability Wooden utility poles will vary on sizes, depending on the size of the billboard that will be use

[0079] II An aluminum welded box bracket 10″×24″×24″ will be fabricated and installed at 10 feet (from the ground) on the wooden utility pole to accommodate the video players to project video commercials The aluminum welded box bracket will have four pieces with measurements of 1⅝″×1⅝″ unistrut at 12″, eight pieces of 1⅝″×1⅝″ unistrut at 24″, and a 41½″ piece of 1⅝″×1⅝″ unistrut for incline support This bracket should be bolted to the utility pole by using ⅜″×12″ all tread bolts

[0080] III An aluminum junction box 24″×20″×8″ will be installed inside the aluminum welded box bracket to protect the video player from heat, humidity, and cold weather, or any flying debris that could harm the device

[0081] IV A similar aluminum unistrut box like bracket that consists of four pieces of 1⅝″×1⅝″×14″, four pieces of 1⅝″×1⅝″×40″, eight piece of 1⅝″×1⅝″×36″, four pieces of 1⅝″×1⅝″×41½″ will be installed as a bracket for support to accommodate the projector that will be enclose in an aluminum junction box The aluminum junction box 24′×20′×8″ will protect the projector from heat, cold, humidity, and any flying debris that could damage it

Electrical System

[0082] The projection system will energize from the existing source that the billboard has mounted for its lightning A ¾″ conduit with a 3 conductor #12 wire rod will be installed underground from the existing billboard to a duplex receptacle to supply power to a multi-outlet with surge protector to energize the electric fans, the video player, and the projector installed on the wooden utility pole This power source will be on a 20-amp breaker

Humidity and Temperature Control System

[0083] Considering the factor that the projector and the video player are not outside devices a humidity and temperature controller should be installed. A high-pressure aluminum cylinder 100 C/F @#2200 pressure of nitrogen should be installed at the ground with a 4″ S S hose×⅜′ attached to it A ⅜′ S S Tee NPS will be attached to the hose to provide nitrogen to the video player enclosure to control the moisture inside It will also have a 3″ of water regulator at the ⅜′ S S Tee to regulate the circulation A ⅜′ S S 304 Tubing should also be installed at the ⅜′ S.S. Tee to provide nitrogen to the projector to control the moisture Both devices should have electric fans to control the heat on the enclosures

[0084] To record and control temperature and better service the equipment, a humidity and temperature probe should be installed to integrate with the temperature controller The controller should be inside of an 8″×8″×8′ enclosure to protect it from rain It is not necessary to provide any nitrogen to it, since the controller is an outdoor device The humidity and temperature probe wire should be installed in a ¾″ rigid conduit connected to the enclosure for temperature readings 

1. What we claim as our invention is the “Prosy” (Projection System), a fully scaleable and customize DVD player projection system along with an extension of using a computer through a local area network and broadband wireless connection to project full motion videos on freeway billboards continuously at night
